We're keen outdoor types so would love to help you plan your next adventure or hear about your last one! Between us, we speak a little french, a little german and some spanish.
We do both work so interaction is not always possible all the time but we are always contactable by phone if needed.

Out house looks out on the lovely Kay Park - gifted to Kilmarnock by Alexander Kay. The park is great for walks, feeding the ducks at the boating pond or for playing on the swings. Dean Castle Country park is also a short walk away and is perfect for bike rides or longer woodland walks. For extended walks, these two can be linked with the Craufurdland estate.
The house is a short walk from both Kilmarnock bus station and the train station. These are both on the main line between Ayr and Glasgow with frequent services. A cycle path runs from Kilmarnock to Irvine - another lovely seaside town.
The family has 3 small children, who are usually good sleepers. In the usual event that our children are disruptive overnight (due to illness for example) then we're happy to agree a refund with you.
Usually no additional charge for small children sharing room with parents. Please message in advance to confirm.
Simple breakfast foods provided - such as cereal, porridge, toast, jam, honey, chocolate spread, peanut butter, marmite etc, yogurt, eggs, cheese. Usually on a make your own basis. We often have fresh bread - if you remind me the night before then i can make sure its ready just about the time you wake up.
More than happy to cater for evening meals/lunch etc at mutually agreed additional cost - please message if you wish to discuss.

We booked Rachel's place for my daughter who needed to be in Kilmarnock for a couple of days,she told us everything was great.She said had to arrive late and that it wasn't a problem,the hosts friendly And helpful and the room and bed great.

AlexMarch 2016

This was our first experience with airbnb and it couldn't have been better. Rachel responds really quickly and is such a trusting and friendly person. Her flat is really cosy and we really felt at home. The neighborhood is also lovely and we would definitely go back if we return to Kilmarnock at any time. We would recommend anyone to stay with Rachel as she would do anything to make you feel comfortable.

Rob & MarianaMay 2016

I found Rachel and her partner to be very obliging. They are relaxed and very good natured. Nothing was too much trouble and I felt very welcome. They are good company and everything seemed to mix well. I would happily return and would have no hesitation in recommending them to friends or colleagues. Their house is in a very good area of Kilmarnock which means you feel completely safe and makes it easy walking distance for the town centre.

JohnJune 2016

Very welcoming and carring. The description was perfect.

BogusiaApril 2016

Rachel and her partner were incredibly welcoming from the moment I arrived. They made accommodation for my bicycle and gave me the grand tour and were open to conversation. The room was comfortable, clean and bright. I would definitely recommend staying here to anyone visiting Kilmarnock or surrounds!

JamesJune 2016

very welcoming, told us to make ourselves at home and help ourselves to anything we needed. Will come back again.

MatthewAugust 2016

Rachel's place is lovely. It's clean and tidy and a home from home. Rachel and Ali made me feel very welcome, and were easy to communicate with and everything was perfect. I would definitely recommend them. The bedroom was cosy and I had a great nights sleep. The house was lovely and warm. I Couldn't have wished for anything more.

Clean, comfortable double room in quiet suburb with excellent transport links for Glasgow, Prestwick Airport and exploring Ayrshire. Perfect for short stays for singles or couples. Hopefully, a home-from-home and not just a BnB!

Comfortable wee house with double bed in guest room. Let as budget self-catering but all bedding, towels and basic breakfast inc tea/coffee/juices and bread for toast or cereals will be provided if required.
Shared bathroom with shower/sink/WC. Guests are more than welcome to use the kitchen with washing machine (small additional fee of £1 for this including eco-friendly detergent & fabric conditioner), fridge/freezer etc.
Kitchen has most cooking appliances: as well as the fan-assisted oven and induction hob there's a slow cooker (crockpot), food processor, blender and microwave oven.
The living room/lounge also has a dining area as well as HD TV, bluray and Roku player (with an Amazon Prime account) and guests are welcome to borrow any DVDs to watch in their room if required.
The bed is a coach style metal sofa bed base with proper bed slats and mattress and anti-allergy topper. Most guests have generally found it very comfortable :). The room was redecorated late 2015, with brand new carpet and has a wardrobe and HD TV with built-in DVD player (and USB slot) and NowTV box for streaming catch-up TV and YouTube. Double electric socket also has 2 usb slots so no need for a convertor plug if you're travelling from outside the UK.

I want to offer a home-from-home accommodation at budget prices and don't want people to feel they're confined to just the room they are sleeping in.
I always try to be around during stays, when possible and happy to socialise if am not busy or out :). Equally, I am happy to leave guests to themselves if they prefer, and will give up the lounge for their use if they require it.
I have genuinely loved some of the many varied and interesting people I have met through doing AirBnB and hope to continue to meet many more :).

Kilmarnock is not on the tourist trail, unless you're a Boyd descendant, like your Burns/Johnnie Walker history, or you're on the Outlander tourist trail as they filmed at the local Dean Castle in December 2015 for season 2! However, it has some excellent parks and everything is within a reachable distance - including the Ayrshire coastal towns of Ayr, Troon and Saltcoats/Largs; not to mention the ferry ports that can take you to Belfast, the Isles of Arran and Bute and to the Kintyre peninsula.
The house is located within a very quiet housing estate which is a mix of 1950s social housing, some privately owned and some new-build. Whilst the older housing may not be the prettiest to look at (it's a curse of Scottish local authorities and their use of grey pebbledash rendering!), the estate is a true community, whereby people actually know their neighbours and are always helpful. I genuinely love living here!
There is a small shop up road for essentials along with Chinese take-away; supermarket, pub and more take away food outlets are less than a mile away.
The town centre is less than 2 miles away with a good mix of standard shops and local artisan/craft shops too as well as some great local pubs that serve home cooked food and decent restaurants too.
The bus stop for Glasgow, Ayr & Prestwick Airport is a short (around 10 mins) walk & journey times are very good (approx 25 mins to Glasgow & 30 mins to Prestwick by car/bus). Train station is approx 25 mins walk or bus to/from town stops almost outside the door. There is even an hourly nightbus to/from Glasgow and/or Ayr (via Prestwick Airport) on a Saturday night if you fancy a wee drink & a boogie in one of the city's many clubs !
Less than 5 minutes drive from the M77 and perfectly located for exploring Ayrshire and the central belt of Scotland. Free on street parking available.
First off - Please remember I'm NOT in Glasgow itself; Glasgow is 22 miles away although it is very quick and easy to get to, particularly if you are coming by vehicle. Also, the nearest airport is Glasgow PRESTWICK (15 miles away), Glasgow International is also around 22-24 miles away but is reachable in approximately 30-35 minutes by car or about 90 minutes to 2 hours by train/bus.
I have a friendly fluffy cat! But don't worry he *shouldn't* disturb you in your room :-) ; but please bear this in mind if you have an allergy or sensitivity. I do try to keep him out of the room as best as I can, but he will always follow me into the room if I'm cleaning in there and so does jump on the bed. The house is as much his as it is mine and please be aware that his covered litter tray is kept in the bathroom (although he hardly ever uses it!).
The duvet on the bed is goose feather, if you require a hollow fibre one, please let me know and this can be swapped.
I prefer guests to check-out before I leave for work (by 10:15 am unless I'm not at work, when 12:00 is fine) but happy to negotiate with this if necessary. Check-in is flexible too, just let me know your arrival time if it is going to be much earlier than I finish work and I can make other arrangements for you to let yourselves in.
Gay-friendly (goes without saying!!!).

Donna is a very friendly host. The room was comfortable and great value for money. If I'm due to be working in Kilmarnock in future and need a place to stay, I would definitely consider staying here again. Thanks Donna for your hospitality! :)

AbdulOctober 2015

We had a lovely 3 nights stay at Donna's ! She is a lovely host, the room was absolutely nice and so she was, giving many interesting advices on what to do and see around ! The place is very quite and only 30min from vlasgow (15 min driving to a park and ride, then 15 min to Buchannan Street station). If you have some spare time, go and visit the Dean castle in Kilmarnock with Donna as a guide : you will learn a lot about the place and about the Scottish history ! If we should sum it up : do not hesitate and go there :)

Aurélie EtienneSeptember 2014

We really enjoyed our stay with Donna in her wee home. The room and bed were very comfortable. Jarvis the cat was very friendly. It was great to feel comfortable cooking up meals in Donna's kitchen and we were able to catch up on our washing. There is a small charge for the washing but well worth the convenience. The Tesco supermarket only a couple of minutes away was great. Our interaction with Donna and Jarvis was great. Great place to stay and excellent value.

PatriciaJune 2015

Donna is a wonderful host! Very passionate, sweet, considerate and caring. The room looks exactly as what the picture tells you. It is located at somewhere distant from the city center, so a nice place to enjoy some fresh air and quietness. Donna also has a cat, he is also very cute and beautiful!

PhoebeApril 2016

We have big trip by car. we easily found the apartment . We stay at Donna's room 1 night. But it is a good night, beucose mattress is soft and comfortable. We sleep very well. Donna is friendly and fun-loving host. Nice kitchen. Warm room. Free parking. The tastefully furnished bathroom. And Travis - big wonderful red cat with green eyes.

AlexanderNovember 2015

Donna is a very pleasant individual and the welcome was just great. The place was ok but not very high standard of clenliness. However the bed was clean and VERY comfortable. I would recommend this room but don't have high expectations

BogusiaSeptember 2015

Lovely, lively host with clean room as shown on pictures. Has a very friendly cat and knows all about the local area including Glasgow. Easy access to Glasgow with bus. No complaints, lovely stay! Can recommend

SebastianAugust 2015

The photos do not do the room justice it's such a comfy space to rest in.... The little book of info on our bed when we arrived was such a brilliant idea. Lots of info about the house and the area etc as well as the WiFi - great idea!!

Apartment in quiet residential area, about a mile from town centre. Local bus stop nearby.
This "Clan Lamont "apartment has access to shared swimming pool in the summer months.
The 2 tartan apartments and rooms offer accommodation for 7 subject to availability.
The shared front door access and the swimming pool area.
On arrival and any time that we can assist.

The attention to detail and making you welcome is 5* ... really good .... best I have come upon to date

SimonJuly 2016

I booked a short stay at The Clan Lamont Apartment for one of the company's engineers. James was very quick to respond to messages and was very helpful with all aspects of the booking, which made it very easy for me! The engineer loved the apartment saying that he would happily live there! It was very clean and comfy and had everything that he needed/wanted. Thank you James.

HarrietJuly 2016

The apartment was ideal for our needs, as a base to attend a wedding locally. Very comfortable couches to relax on and we were delighted with unexpected touches - breakfast supplies, fruit and even a kitkat in the fridge.

fionaAugust 2016

Elegant apartment, of which you have sole use, situated in lovely suburb of Kilmarnock consisting of one double bedroom, shower room, kitchen and lounge. The apartment, although part of our private residence, is accessed via own separate entrance.

The bedroom is light and airy with lovely bay window overlooking our large garden. The fully fitted kitchen comes complete with all appliances including an electric hob, oven, washing machine, larder fridge, microwave and toaster, as well as all utensils and crockery for use during your stay. There is a very handy maid's rail for drying/airing clothes. The large lounge which has an original sanded maple floor receives a lot of light from its bay window and is comfortably furnished. The apartment has gas central heating (in all rooms) and there is also an electric fire within the fireplace in the lounge. Free Wi-Fi is available. Breakfast is by way of self catering in the dining kitchen and for your convenience a breakfast pack will be left for you including milk, fruit juice, cereals, fruit, bread, butter, marmalade, jam, tea and coffee. There is a tv and audio system. There is also a smoke alarm and carbon monoxide detector fitted within the apartment.
The apartment, although part of our private residence, is accessed via own separate keyed entrance. Guests are welcome to relax in our private garden which is well stocked with trees, shrubs and planters.
My husband and I will be on hand to welcome you and to help with arrangements or recommendations for activities.

Country and woodland walks commence directly from the apartment and the centre of Kilmarnock with two supermarkets just a ten minute walk from the apartment. The town boasts numerous excellent cafes and the Bank Street area of the town has lovely independent boutiques, hairdressers and gift shops. There are also good restaurants within walking distance and a five minute walk will take you to the nearest restaurant and bar within The Park Hotel (at Rugby Park, Kilmarnock Football Club Ground). A golfer? Whether you are looking for links, heathland, parkland or moorland, there are courses to suit every ability and budget, including hidden gems like the two Gailes courses, Glasgow and Western, as well as Kilmarnock Barassie at Troon or Dundonald. Ayrshire is home to an array of magnificent castles from Dean in Kilmarnock; Dundonald and Portencross to Culzean. This charming region is also scattered with intriguing historic buildings and homes like The Bachelor's Club, Dumfries House and Souter Johnnie's Cottage. The region is awash with fascinating tributes to the life and work of Scotland's National Bard, Robert Burns. Dumfries House near Cumnock (approx. 30 mins drive from Kilmarnock), is one of Britain's most beautiful stately homes and best kept heritage secrets. Saved by the intervention of HRH The Prince of Wales in 2007, Dumfries House combines the architecture of Robert Adam with the furniture of Thomas Chippendale and leading 18th century Scottish cabinet makers. The estate (including the newly renovated walled garden) is well worth a visit (no charge for entry to the estate but there is for a tour around the House). Please get in touch if there is anything you want to ask. I look forward to welcoming you and hope you enjoy your visit.
When possible collection from Glasgow Prestwick Airport or Kilmarnock Railway Station can be arranged. If requested I can quote a charge to collect from Glasgow International Airport, Glasgow Queen Street Railway Station or Glasgow Central Railway Station. We are a 20 minutes' drive from Glasgow Prestwick Airport and 40 minutes' drive from Glasgow Airport. A ferry link runs between Cairnryan, near Stranraer to Northern Ireland. There are bus stops outside the house for journeys to Glasgow and Troon. The beach at Troon is particularly picturesque. Cycling is popular in the area including the Kilmarnock and Irvine Loop (23 miles route).

The Apartment was a great base for us to catch up with friends and family in Kilmarnock. It was great to have all the amenities within the apartment too and Sandra is a fantastic host who has stocked it with some extra home comforts too. Also able to give us great advice about where to go to eat locally.

JulieAugust 2016

Sandra is a superb host, the apartment is lovely,clean and well equipped. It is a real home from home, even left homemade cake. Could not have asked for anything else, lovely and quiet and the garden is beautiful! Great location with good transport links, easy to go down the coast, into the city of Glasgow or access the golf courses. You have your own front door, so come and go as you please. Will go back agi(URL HIDDEN)

RosemaryMarch 2016

Really enjoyed staying at the apartment. It had everything we needed and was in a ideal location too.

AlistairJuly 2016

After a grueling flight, it was so nice to arrive at Sandra's and feel as if I was coming home. Clean, spacious, well appointed and to top it off a lovely garden that could be viewed from the bedroom window. Wonderful way to start the day even if it was raining! Yummy cookie bars greeted us on the kitchen counter-homemade by our host. Highly recommend this accommodation!

The property comprises of a small family home located in Kilmarnock, in East Ayrshire. There is an enclosed rear garden, living room with woodburning stove, dining room, well equipped kitchen and 2 cozy rooms (one with en-suite shower). The property benefits from a good broadband connection, large flat screen tv and PS3 with a small selection of games. The house is well located for easy access to the bus station, train station, local library & museum, and local bars and restaurants.

Guests staying here will have access to the entire property.
Generally we will meet you at check-in, and then leave you to it, however, we are only a phone call away if you have any queries!

Very handy for the local shops, and nice neighborhood restaurants.
5 minute walk to the local bus station where you can get a bus to Glasgow (takes 30 mins). 10 minute walk to the train station, which provides access to Glasgow and also Carlisle. Prestwick, Troon and Ayr are also easily accessible. 2 minute drive to the M77 motorway, which provides easy access to Glasgow, etc.

We stayed a week in this comfortable, spacious, and pleasantly eclectic family home. We were late arriving (we got a little lost) but Ayumi kindly waited to show us the basics. The breakfast items were much appreciated, the Internet connection was great, the hosts were welcoming and laid back. We like to cook sometimes when we are traveling on long holidays and the kitchen had everything we needed. The location was perfect for seeing Kilmarnock and the town was a great base for everything Ayrshire has to offer. Thanks for a great week!

LornaAugust 2015

We stayed at Gavin's house for the days we had tickets for the Commonwealth Games. As the last reviewer said it is a lovely house on a quiet road, and was in a great position for accessing Glasgow via park and ride or train and the beautiful countryside of the lower Lochs are not far away. The beds were comfortable and the little touches like tea/bread/milk that were left for us were very thoughtful. We had a really busy few days so it was nice to know we had a relaxing place to come back to. Gavin was a great communicator which was brilliant, although we never got to meet, we felt like we were valued guests and were well looked after.

DonnaAugust 2014

We loved staying at Gavin and Ayumi's house. The area was very quiet yet very close to the centre of Kilmarnock. The accommodation was perfect, lovely rooms with interesting paintings, comfortable beds and sofa and a very pleasant conservatory. Gavin made us feel very welcome and even invited us to try some of the rocket growing in the garden.

SueJune 2016

We had a really lovely time at Gavin's home. It's clean, comfortable, spacious, in a good neighbourhood and you can get to the bus station within a few minutes so Glasgow is only 40 minutes away. The train station is a bit further away - it's possible it's 15 minutes walk but we don't actually know because Gavin offered to pick us up when we arrived with our luggage, then also dropped us off at the end of our stay - completely above and beyond but very appreciated. Gavin was very welcoming and friendly, and had bread, tea/coffee, cereal and milk all ready for us. The bed was super comfortable and the shower was great. An added and unexpected bonus was having the entire place to ourselves and we would have loved to have chilled out in the back garden if we hadn't been so busy at the Commonwealth Games each day.

KateJuly 2014

The home was very tasteful, roomy and comfortable. It was great to find such a pleasant place to stay, and for such a moderate fee, right in the middle of the Commonwealth Games. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Gavin's home in Kilmarnock-just a short bus or train ride from central Glasgow.

JudithAugust 2014

A wonderful stay, fantastic hosts and a great location. We were made to feel at home and so appreciated the kids toys, dishes, highchairs, stroller etc that they put at our disposal. They are so friendly and helpful and extreamly respectful of our privacy. The garden was a fantastic bonus which our kids loved, plus the playroom/conservatory. We really felt at home. Thank you for a great vacation.

Very comfortable beds, clean, lovely breakfast and Robbie was very kind by doing some washing for us! Thank you.

AliceJune 2016

Robbie and Fred are gracious hosts who provide a homey and comfortable base from which to explore Kilmarnock and surrounds. The rooms are well appointed, breakfast is cooked to order, and the grounds, though compact, are filled with flowers, veggies and loving care. Only a couple of blocks from the town center for shopping, dining, and transportation. Highly recommended!

NormanMay 2016

We had a nice time at Dean Park B&B ad enjoyed a clean and comfortable room. The bathroom was a bit small, but the room was pleasant. The host was helpful and friendly upon our arrival and at breakfast the next morning. The breakfast offered many choices and was delicious.

JaneJuly 2015

Room was as described and listed, well furnished, clean and a good size. Bed was comfortable and the shower was particularly powerful and hot which makes a nice change to the usual cold and weak showers at B&B's. I didn't get much of a chance to talk to the hosts as I was working unsociable hours but from what I did get they seemed very friendly. Again, as I worked early hours I didn't get chance to try the breakfast included but from the brief look I got the dining room looked very nice and from what I heard from other guests the breakfast was particularly nice. The wifi was very slow on my phone but wasn't a particular problem as it worked fine on my laptop.

SpencerAugust 2015

I stayed with a friend; we were going to a wedding nearby. We felt that the stay was very good value for money. Good television and wifi, tea and coffee with kettle in the room were much appreciated. The full cooked breakfast was good and the hosts were friendly. Thank you!

My guests will be based in the bright and airy main double room with an en-suite (stand up shower), plenty of storage space and a dressing table.
Guests are welcome to access all parts of the property - living room, kitchen, dining room with French doors onto a patio and a further bathroom (with a bath).
I am on holiday from work during the week my guests would be staying so I am more than willing to act as a host and provide all that is required during the week of The British Open. I could provide meals and also act as a driver for my guests if they are not hiring a car. Whilst my guests are not attending the golf I would like to show them other parts of Scotland or offer them ideas of trips they might enjoy.

Kilmarnock is in an excellent location - only 10 miles from Troon, 20 miles from Glasgow and 65 miles from Edinburgh. Kilmarnock town centre also has lots of amenities, including a main shopping street, a leisure centre and golf courses, a country park and lots of nice cafes and restaurants.
As I said above I am more than happy to act as a driver for my guests. Alternatively there is a railway station just a five minute walk from my apartment with a regular train service to various parts of Scotland. If my guests have their own car there is plenty of parking in a private car park in my apartment complex.
I am happy to receive requests from potential guests. Once I receive the requests I will let you know if I can accommodate them.

This apartment ,recently created from spare rooms in our home offers all benefits of luxury that you will expect. The apartment is themed on Scotland's historic clan system.
Apart from their own accommodation guests may wish to use our swimming pool which is heated in the Summer months
Mainly on arrival to see that guests are settled in to their rooms or apartments,but generally available to provide local information regarding restaurants , transport systems, local sightseeing tips and more .

Not far from town centre,quiet location and just two minutes from main bus routes to Glasgow or Ayr.
Very convenient for bus or train connections
We are always glad to pick up guests from Glasgow or Prestwick Airports.
Should be requested when booking your accommodation.

James and Cartoons were fantastic hosts, interesting, helpful and exceptionally kind. The accommodation was great value, private, spacious, clean and with the fantastic addition of heated pool. The road between their house and Glasgow is an easy drive. This is also a great base for visiting the Ayrshire coast. I can recommend this listing 100%.

Great to have off street parking and lovely garden area to sit in. For my first Air BnB experience, I will definitely be using more. I left my iPhone charger and without being asked, the host offered to post. Excellent. First class all round. Huge thanks!

Testimonials
"We have found Rankin House very comfortable, spacious and enjoyed some barbecues on the patio. It was easy to get into Kilmarnock and most importantly a good place to park our 3 large vehicles in safety. It is well positioned for us as we had to travel as far as south Glasgow and east to Strathaven early in the morning. We reached the A77 Glasgow to Ayr and south to Stranraer road in a few minutes". Romek and co. Workmen. July 2012
Guest have exclusive access to the whole of the house.
Agent office is 10 miles distant and.

There are regular bus services into the Kilmarnock town centre.

The house is simple but you will have all you need. You need to workout a schedule for the one bathroom though, if you have a bigger party. But everything is as advertised. And John and his partner were very polite and helpful. I would book it anytime again.

This is a basic, no frills kind of house. Since it's a stone's throw from the A77, it's great for self-catering travellers on a budget. We didn't spend much time there while we were visiting Ayrshire but it suited our needs. The heating worked perfectly (not too hot/cold) and we didn't have to wait ages for the hot water to kick in. All appliances worked perfect and we even had space in the extra room near the front door to hang our clean laundry. The bedrooms are spacious (I had plenty of room to fit a travel cot for my infant) and any issues we had were immediately addressed by either John or Anne. All in all I'd say it's a good deal for the price, especially since the house is quite spacious. Thanks John!

ThibaultJune 2016

Had a lovely stay with Liz. I was visiting friends in Stewarton and it was lovely to come back to my own space at night - and it really is your own space as you have your own private entrance. The bed is really comfy, the room and bathroom are to a high but homely standard, and there are lots of little goodies put in the fridge to make an enjoyable breakfast or snack. Liz was very helpful and friendly and willing to give any advice or help if you needed anything at all. So thank you Liz for a lovely stay!

StevenSeptember 2016

A unique find. Worth the time it took to get to it. Liz is so lovely and prepared a delicious meal for us. The room is very private, bed super comfortable, and the overall experience was lovely. I wish I could have stayed longer!

ScarlettSeptember 2016

We loved staying at Liz's! Although it was structurally an old piggery, it needs to be relabeled as a garden oasis! Beautiful inside and out. Very peaceful sleep. Liz was a wonderful, attentive host!

CindySeptember 2016

Our second stay with Liz and Rosie and we will go again.

GeorgeOctober 2016

Liz was very welcoming, thoughtful and full of information. The room was very clean and comfy as was the bathroom. Tea/coffee and a few breakfast bits were provided which was unexpected but very welcome. Liz even provided toys and treats for our dog. We've already recommended the place to friends

EmmaAugust 2016

Liz was simply amazing. Her house is wonderful and the garden was a pleasure to wake up to in the morning. She was delightful to talk to, very knowledgeable about the area and made several suggestions as to what we should go see. Her suggestions were perfect and she directed us to thing we didn't know exsisted. If you want to live like a local I would highly recommend staying at her place.

Carol October 2016

Liz's place is beautiful, tidy and well equipped. The garden is gorgeous. She made us feel very welcome and gave lots of useful tips. Recommended!

My place is close to great travel links to Glasgow by motorway, train or bus. It is just outside Kilmarnock. There is a train station in the village and the journey to Glasgow Central is just half an hour. You’ll love my place because of the quietness of this semi-rural location. My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, business travellers, and furry friends (pets). There are shops and pubs in the village and the nearest supermarket is just two miles away.

Bedroom, bathroom, living room, kitchen and garden.
I work from home so I am usually around and happy to help with any queries.

The Weston Tavern is a great bar and it does lovely meals. There is also a coffee shop/restaurant round the side:

The Rendezvous café in the village does nice snacks and the staff are very friendly.
The Canny Man public house is about 10 miles away but well worth the trip. It has a quiet bar area with a real fire and separate dining area:

There is a bicycle shop in the village where bikes may be hired:

There are plenty of golf courses in the area :-) I have a set of golf clubs you would be welcome to borrow if they are suitable for you.
A trip to Culzean Castle is well worthwhile:

On the way there, view this special attraction, the "Electric" Brae at Croy:

About 20 miles away near Cumnock is 18th century Dumfries House set in 2,000 acres of land. Prince Charles (the Prince of Wales in England and Wales but known as the Duke of Rothesay in Scotland) oversaw its extensive restoration and continues to have links with the estate:

Please note that being semi-rural, the water pressure may be a little lower than you are used to.

Ailsa was very welcoming and did everything possible to make sure we were comfortable and happy, even making sure we could fit our van in the driveway. The twin beds were comfortable,and the room was big and clean, as was the bathroom. Even though the train line is at the rear, they are infrequent and didn't bother us.

Wan MeiSeptember 2016

I had a very nice stay at Alisa's place, quiet place, nice bedroom, bath, could cook in the kitchen. Bed was very comfortable, you could make the bedroom dark and sleep very well, and I had a nice long bath too. Would come again!

Best to have a car for getting around but once in Stewarton theres a rail link to glasgow and bus services to all nearby towns.

Margaret and Tony are two of the welcoming, friendly and hospitable people I have ever had the good fortune to meet. Their house is not only beautiful but extremely homely and in a great location. I would recommend staying here to anybody.

KieronAugust 2016

I would highly recommend staying at Tony and Margaret's place near Stewarton. An excellent location, ideal for visiting the immediate area or even Glasgow/Kilmarnock. Suitable also for workers. Both Tony and Margaret are very hospitable and will go above and beyond to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable. Look no further than this little gem of a place.

This detached home is in a posh Scottish conservation village - complete with gastropub - just 10-15 minutes drive from Royal Troon golf course for "The Open" 2016 golf championship! Views over countryside to the sea. Experience Scotland at its best!

*more photos coming soon*
Have this modern, detached home all to yourself during the Open golf championship! This home is owned by an American family and is used part of the year.
The property has mattress and pillow protectors on all beds, new toddler mattresses, White Company and Pottery Barn linens, an American style fridge-freezer, a switch operated gas fire (which we hope you won't need!), a full dining room for entertaining and of course free wifi.
You'll have no hosts breathing down your neck, yet all the conveniences of a home instead of a hotel room.
Ample parking and nice outdoor area.
This rental includes two adult decor bedrooms (one king, one double), one double bedroom with fairly minimal decor as it is used by a child, and finally one toddler bedroom which can only accommodate a small child. All communal space like the living room, dining room and kitchen are open for use, and help yourself to the outdoor areas. A small fifth bedroom and the double garages are not including in the rental.
We will not be local to the property for this rental period, but our local contact who lives in Troon and knows the property well will meet and greet and provide you with advice and support as needed.

If you are planning to attend the Open golf championship held in nearby Troon, you've found one of the most desirable areas for 2016 golf tourists. Symington is an idyllic conservation village where you can experience traditional Scotland at its best.
Symington boasts one of the regions most loved gastropubs "The Wheatsheaf," where you can enjoy delicious local seafood and traditional scottish fare - as well as a few pints or a wee dram of whisky! What a great way to unwind after a day at the golf, within walking distance from home. A well-known professional golfer will be staying in another property in the village so you might spot some celebrities.
The village is surrounded by the rolling hills and countryside Scotland is famous for. The property is down a small private road shared with one other house at the base of a cul de sac. The position provides a view to sea from the front - and you can even wake up to the view of Scottish mountain Ben Lomond in the master bedroom.
It's quite sad to hear that a lot of tourists are renting properties as far away from the golf as Kilmarnock or Irvine, or paying over the odds for hotel rooms (I just saw a budget hotel advertising at $444 per night for a room). Symington is convenient to the open AND feels like a destination in itself. Maybe it is a best kept secret... one that you are now in on!
Symington is conveniently accessed from the major arterial roads between Glasgow to Troon. You can choose to drive to Troon either by taking the nearby A77 and connected major roads, or you can go the back way via beautiful, winding farm roads lined with hedges and stone walls typical of the region. The trip is short, taking 10-15 minutes door to door without heavy traffic.
The property is not childproofed for very young children in terms of cupboards and cabinets.
The third bedroom contains a toddler sized bed with side bars which can be removed to make it a standard toddler bed.
One bathroom is ensuite to the king bedroom. It has a bath, double sinks and a separate shower stall.
The second bathroom, accessed from the upstairs hall, has a lovely clawfoot bath and a hand-held shower head with no standing shower. This is a SLOW bath to fill. Guests may find themselves sharing the ensuite if they want a shower!
